"You love pie. You know you do. Admit it. Give into it.
Make a pie.
It's not that hard. Pie sometimes gets a bad rap. Some think that crust is something to be afraid of.People, are you afraid of something as tasty as crust? Heck no!
Show crust who is boss by making pie. Nothing to fear! There's a reason they say, "Easy as pie."
So please make a pie before June 20th. Gluten-free crust, cornmeal crust, graham cracker crust, cookie crust, lard, butter, duck fat crust. Whip up a favorite filling be it custard, cream, baked, frozen, fruit, chocolate, caramel, veggie, shoofly, or whatever catches your fancy.
It doesn't have to be pretty. Pie isn't always pretty, but it is always - ALWAYS - wonderful to eat.
On June 20th, post up a photo of your pie. If you have a blog, and you want to share the recipe, do a blog post. If you have a Facebook account, post the photos to your account and here. If you are on Twitter, post a photo.
June 20th is pie day.

Come si fa a dire di no? Come si fa a restare indifferenti ad un invito che profuma di frolla, burro e cannella?
Cresciuta con il mito di Nonna Papera, Grandma Duck, e le sue fantastiche torte lasciate a raffreddare sul davanzale della finestra, qualche faccenda da sbrigare e le torte spariscono, in teoria misteriosamente, in pratica sappiamo tutti benissimo che il profumo deve essere arrivato alle narici di Ciccio, che non ha saputo trattenersi dal fare della torta di turno un sol boccone. Teglie che sanno di sole, aria limpida e pulita, erba appena tagliata, frutti appena raccolti dall'albero, meritato ristoro dopo una giornata di faticoso lavoro, che però riempie di vita. Ma soprattutto sanno di affetto, coccole e famiglia. Queste sono le immagini che vedo dietro ad ogni pie. Mi metto sulla scia di Nonna Papera e faccio anch'io una pie.
How can I say no? How can I stay indifferent to such a fragrant invitation? Shortcrust, butter and cinnamon...

Grown up with the myth of Grandma Duck and her wonderful pies, left to cool on the window-sill, something to do around the farm and the pies disappear...it seems something strange, but we certainly know that the fragrance has captured Gus Goose, that can't resist to eat the whole pie in a mouthful. Pie dishes that have a taste of sun, fresh air, green grass, just picked fruits, earned refreshment after a long day of hard work. Above all they have a taste of family, cuddle and love. These are pictures that I see on each pie. Following Grandma Duck trail, I'm making my personal pie.
